Every once in a while I read something that is so unique that it makes me want to make everyone stop and read! This author is regularly pushing the bar (just an intended pun but you have to read the book to get it!) into unique. She blew me away with her last book and … Continue reading Boogie Beach: The Record, Book 1 by Winnie Winkle
Book Series
Murder At A Seance by P. Austin Heaton
For my birthday I decided to gift myself a couple of books in paper format. I put a plea on Twitter for historical fiction, and this author responded with this lovely suggestion. I enjoyed the main character, Sadie Brown, and her strong backbone and intelligence in an era when women were just starting to become … Continue reading Murder At A Seance by P. Austin Heaton
Missing or Dead – A Tracey Marks Mystery #3 by Ellen Shapiro
I have read every book in this series and it just keeps getting better. However, I do have to admit that this was my favorite so far. I would even go so far as to say read it first. The author gives the reader enough backstory that it could be read on its own. However … Continue reading Missing or Dead – A Tracey Marks Mystery #3 by Ellen Shapiro
Void of Power: From The Ashes by Andrew C. Raiford
In full disclosure, I had the pleasure of editing this book. I edit, beta read, and review many books (over 300 in the last two years). But specific authors and their works stand out – and this one certainly is in that category. The author is writing from a vast knowledge covering a wide variety … Continue reading Void of Power: From The Ashes by Andrew C. Raiford
Beware the Stranger (B.E. Ware Trilogy) by Molly Mirren
This is the first book in this trilogy. The author does a nice job of setting up the atmosphere and characters. Setting the heart of this story in a circus just reinforced the idea of who would run away to join the circus as well as the circus’ reputation of attracting those who are a … Continue reading Beware the Stranger (B.E. Ware Trilogy) by Molly Mirren
Underground Adventure (Below the Green, Book 1) by A. R. Hetherington
Finalist Book Talk Radio Club 2020 As I was reading this book, it was easy to see how it became a finalist. Also the reviews from the experts (those under the age of 12) are precious and spot on. This adventure happens in many layers. A simple ring that leads to a portal starts the … Continue reading Underground Adventure (Below the Green, Book 1) by A. R. Hetherington
Season of the Spider: Copper Book 1 by JB Murray
Perfect for the season! Let me start by saying I previously did not have an issue with spiders – they did their thing, I did mine. Two tarantulas even lived in my game room for many years as pets of my son. Well, after reading this, my opinion has changed. STOMP them all! With realistic … Continue reading Season of the Spider: Copper Book 1 by JB Murray
Secrets Can Kill (Tracey Marks Mystery) By Ellen Shapiro
Shapiro is back with her second mystery featuring Tracey Marks. When a potential client turns up dead, Tracey is down the rabbit hole of maybe? clues, trying to get to the truth. Tracey’s independent nature with a drop of quirky humor leads the reader on another whodunit? While this series has the feel of a … Continue reading Secrets Can Kill (Tracey Marks Mystery) By Ellen Shapiro
Ghastly and Good (Merry Hanukkah Series Short) by Debby Caruso
TODAY is release day for this treat! (No tricks were involved in the writing of this review.) Living in a Merry Hanukkah family, I love this series. As one of the few holidays my husband and I share, Halloween has always been a big deal at our house. I totally relate to Rhonda and her … Continue reading Ghastly and Good (Merry Hanukkah Series Short) by Debby Caruso

Set in a high powered business environment, this story also deals with the fringes of that world. The main plot follows Rakshan in his quest, but there are two other subplots going on that add to the fullness of the story. What would you do if the answer to all your problems was at your … Continue reading Privilege (WP Trilogy, #1) by Bharat Krishnan
